But as you see him around the Patriots organization, you see how [Cassel] was really very good about being there early and trying to keep up with Tom and, obviously with Tom Brady being such a leader and setting the tone, Matt really adhered to that approach and he just continues to get better and better. So I wasn’t necessarily surprised. They have a fantastic supporting cast there for him, and I think it was obviously a very nice, smooth transition.

I found this interesting...Someone with first hand knowledge of Cassel but who is no longer a Patriot and is for obvious reasons not intersted in aquiring him so that makes his comments un-biased.
